Hot Tea-A recent study warns against drinking hot tea
We offer advice to all tea lovers, which is to let the tea cool down a little before drinking it, as a recent study conducted in China proved that drinking very hot tea increases a person’s rate of esophageal cancer, especially among people who drink alcohol or smoke.
Where researchers in China found that drinking hot tea raises the rate of esophageal cancer by 5 times the normal rate, especially in smokers and also in people who drink large amounts of alcohol.
A statistic was published this February in the Annals of Internal Medicine, stating that China is the country with the highest incidence of esophageal cancer, and researchers singled out esophageal cancer.
Where it was found that people who have the characteristic of smoking with drinking alcohol and drinking hot tea, have a higher chance of developing cancer.
How does hot tea raise the incidence of esophageal cancer?
Although the method itself has not yet been reached by researchers, researchers have suggested that excessive consumption of hot tea causes a long-term wound and injury to the cells covering the esophagus, and the doctor Jean at Beijing University acknowledged that drinking hot tea prepared at a temperature of 65 degrees Celsius , or the equivalent of 149 Fahrenheit causes cortical cell carcinoma of the esophagus, according to the American Cancer Society.
factors that increase danger
These factors increase their danger with the presence of auxiliary factors such as smoking and drinking alcohol, as these factors cause damage to the DNA of the esophagus. The study included about 456,000 people in China, aged between 30 and 79.
At the beginning of the study
people filled out a questionnaire about the number of times they drank tea, the type of tea and its temperature, and it was found that people who consumed alcohol or tobacco cigarettes had higher rates of cancer, compared to other people.
It is worth noting that the study singled out the category of smokers and alcoholics, and they are the category that should stop drinking hot tea, while people who do not take alcohol can drink it safely without worrying about cancer.
Bottom-line
And when the researchers singled out the study on drinking hot tea, this does not mean that drinking any other hot drinks does not cause what drinking hot tea does, but rather those drinks have the same effect, so doctors advise all tea lovers in China and the United States of America, and all over the world to leave Hot drinks cool slightly before drinking them.
